Is environmental law keeping pace with scientific innovation?

Research output: Contribution to specialist publicationArticle in specialist publicationpeer-review

Abstract

Rapid advances in science and technology provide many opportunities and pose some environmental challenges. Law must respond, but inherently tends to develop slowly and react to environmental problems rather than the innovations themselves. Therefore, this article questions whether law is keeping up with the current pace of change. Law must evolve more swiftly with the development of new technologies to simultaneously avoid negative impacts and harness the benefits.
